[quote=Anonymous]I was curious, found this although did not look further (like to publications by the Kansas researchers).

The article starts off with an "obesity gene" characteristic of factory poultry. Since chicken DNA should not change human DNA I disregarded that pretty quickly. But the article goes further to discuss the fat content of factory poultry vs the earlier birds, and they have far more fat content. Probably not just visible fat either. Also (I found this a few weeks ago, for some reason looking up historical trends in poultry consumption in the US) back in the 50s and 60s a much larger percentage of poultry was NOT broiler hens. Those "stewing chickens" people used to buy which don't exist in stores anymore. They would have been probably old laying hens past their egg production time, and less fatty.

Poultry consumption has gone up a lot over the years. OTOH it replaced mostly beef, so I don't know how much that would necessarily have changed fat intake on its own.
